Hal Puthoff's errors on zero point energy and gravity

[Jack Sarfatti]

Hal's PV model of gravity is wrong for many reasons that I detailed in
my book

Space-Time and Beyond II (2002) available from Amazon and all major
on-line book stores and any book store on order.

I will have more to say about Hal's errors in the theoretical physics of
zero point energy and gravity in "Super Cosmos" in my
discussion of Nick Cook's "The Hunt for Zero Point" and Aviation Week's
March 1, 2004 "To The Stars" propaganda puff piece with no mention at
all of the 1999-2003 Type 1a supernovae "accelerating universe"
discovery of the anti-gravity field of 'dark energy" as ~ 3/4 of the
large-scale stuff of the Universe. That is a lot of egg on the face of
Aviation Week due directly to Hal Puthoff's less than candid interview
where he hid the most important information because he would have had to
credit me for it. For the record, my two books in 2002 show that I was
the first to connect the dots between the discovery of dark energy and
the quest for George Trimble's "G-Engine" in 1956, i.e. NASA BPP and all
that. Hal Puthoff to this moment has not connected those dots and has
not properly cited me for it.

But now for some precise technical points:

1. Hal bases his PV model on the well-known limited fragmentary
superficial analogy of Einstein's gravity theory to the propagation of
light in a dielectric medium.

A dielectric is an emergent collective physical system illustrating P.W.
Anderson's "More is different" so that gravity must be emergent in the
dielectric picture in Andrei Sakharov's sense from 1967.

Hal pays lip service to that, but in his PV papers has no explicit
discussion of how that comes about.

When Hal thinks about "zero point energy" he does so in a very limited
way thinking only of the 2 far field transverse polarizations of the
electromagnetic field.

He does not include the near field longitudinal mode relevant to all the
"Tesla" talk on the WEB.

Hal also does not include the all-important virtual
electron-positron(hole) pairs in the Fermi sea whose negative energy
"beach front" is at -mc^2.
How ironic since in QED it is precisely these off-mass-shell pairs that
make the PV (Polarized Vacuum) corrections. Hence, there is no PV in
Hal's PV! ;-)

We need the lepto-quarks as a whole and all the gauge force bosons
ultimately.

It is important for all of you to understand that both Einstein's
gravity and the unified field of both anti-gravitating dark energy and
gravitating dark matter ALL EMERGE from the giant vacuum wave of the
virtual electron-positron pairs. Each virtual pair is glued together
into a bound state by the virtual longitudinal photon that Hal & Co
(including Haisch, Rueda, Marshall, Cole and maybe Maclay?) all neglect!
The centers of mass of these pairs all macroscopically occupy the same
single-boson wavepacket that extends over the entire universe. Of course
bound-state virtual pairs are continually created and destroyed, as
demanded by Heisenberg, into and out of this smooth coherent vacuum
superfluid and it is this random "normal fluid" noise on the coherent
signal that is the /\zpf field of both dark energy and dark matter with
Einstein's smooth gravity from the "rigid" coherent phase field of the
superfluid. The ebb and flow into and out of the vacuum condensate
enforce the "phase rigidity" or "space-time stiffness" or "string
tension" complementary to Andrei Sakharov's "metric elasticity." Puthoff
has none of these ideas in any of his writings on the subject of metric
engineering of NASA BPP objectives Ad Astra.

The analogy is to neutral HeIII fermion-pair superfluid worked out
independently of me by G.E. Volovik and endorsed by J. Bjorken at SLAC.

Puthoff & Co's physics is simpler than is possible in Einstein's sense.
It is not "bogus," but it is "bad."

Hal has no understanding of what I mean by "vacuum coherence" and he has
never used the idea in any of his papers relevant to the Aviation Week
article on March 1, 2004.
